Please can someone help with removing the above malware. I’ve followed the steps set out in the ‘Logs to assist in cleaning malware’ post and have attached the various logs required.
The Avast pop-up is appearing every few minutes saying a malicious URL has been blocked. I am also either taken to random websites when searching, or get a message to say that there is a problem loading the page.
